Generally animals just go about their business around me. They seem to know I am an animal lover and no threat but occasionally there is a rogue... My parents took me to a wildlife animal park where you can walk amongst the emus...

MoonHowler17 Apologies, @veganbliss. I live very remotely - quite near Byron for the past 18 years in fact - and don't often have access to internet. Yes, I have tried fake meats several times but my body tells me what it needs. During pregnancy, that was usually vitamin C...

MoonHowler17 Very good question, @veganbliss. I'll never be vegan as I love cheese. I eat mainly veg but regularly have fish and chicken in a Thai style. Unfortunately, though I love piggies, I do have a pork or red meat craving every few months and give in to it and...

I really do aim for a quiet life – surrounded by nature and no other humans – which is why I rent a farm house on a huge cattle property with no neighbours and a river on 2 sides, just me and my dog. Even friends with an address...

MoonHowler17 Yes, I probably was lucky, @simone10 The 9 year old me wouldn't have noticed body language like whether his ears were back or if he was getting his powerful feet ready for a well-aimed kick to the head. NOW I'd be terrified and let it have the bag.

MoonHowler17 Thank you, @softbabe44 I am just where I need to be - on a beautiful, isolated property, river flowing past, just me and my dog, abundant wildlife 'though I haven't seen any Skippys yet. Bandicoots, koala (growls from his tree at night), probably the odd...

MoonHowler17 I'm not one for small talk with strangers either, @Drosophila - but would have been a tad more comfortable if I had been wearing clothes at the time

A music album – Tracy Chapman’s self-titled album in fact – just threw me back to 1988, when I was 27. It was a great year in so many ways, largely due to the gorgeous Mark. We met at our local pub in my lunch hour and I never...

MoonHowler17 Thank you @TheHorse A good psychologist and medication helps me plus I now recognise the signs when I'm slipping back to a dark, dark place. Yes, nothing brings back memories as vividly as music does.

MoonHowler17 I still hear people say that suicide is cowardly but yes, there is finally realisation of suicidal thoughts - and the deed itself - being due to mental illness. When someone has a terminal illness or have something like Parkinsons Disease, people can better...

I don't like the way that the 'suggestions' function is used here. It's one of the few things at Bubblews that was better than at Mylot. I didn't mind people suggesting other people's posts that they thought were really good but I...

MoonHowler17 I am sure you are right @bunnybon7 A lot of comedians have underlying issues - drug rehab, disease (Billy Connolly jokes about his prostate cancer and Parkinsons Disease), depression... Laughter is most certainly better than crying

Yes, I am over 50. So what? I don't FEEL old. It really sticks in my craw when people who serve me call me "Madam". It is a term I never use since I don't go into brothels. I suppose younger folk see it as a term of respect....
